Erdan didn't know what pearls were, but he didn't want to appear ignorant in front of Xiaozhe, so he nodded: "Okay! I'll try my best!"

"I'm waiting for you on the playground!" Xiaozhe swallowed excitedly.

The canteen in Wangjia Village was bustling with activity. During Chinese New Year, we had dumplings for two meals straight. Goudan's mother, who rolled the dough, and several other young wives said their hands were swollen.

Wang Guifen felt sorry for her daughter-in-law and decided not to make dumplings anymore. Anyone who wanted to eat could roll the dough themselves!

From then on, the men rolled the dough while the women gathered together, chatting and laughing while making the dumplings.

This time was no exception. The cafeteria was bustling with activity. Steamers from every household were put out, and there were more than a dozen tables filled with dumplings.

The adults have already eaten their round, and the cafeteria is filled with the aroma of dumplings, making the children who come back from school so greedy that they are screaming!

"It's out of the pot! It's out of the pot!" Wang Guifen shouted, "Be careful, it's hot!"

She scooped out the dumplings with a large colander and placed them in a large basin. She waited until they were almost cool enough before letting the parents serve them.

The children ate voraciously and finished a bowl in no time.

Erdan ate while rolling his eyes around, observing the situation.

After he finished his second bowl, he brought his big bowl to Lin Qiu Sheng.

"Teacher Lin, Xiaozhe said he wants to try it too!"

Lin Qiusheng had just filled his second bowl when he looked around and saw that the pot was empty.

"Okay, I'll take this bowl to him!"

Erdaner carried Lin Qiusheng's dumplings and trotted all the way to school.

"Hurry! The dumplings today are so delicious! These are the only ones left!"

There was only half a bowl of dumplings left in the big bowl. Erdan couldn't help but burp.

Xiaozhe took a deep breath: "Smells good!"

Xiaozhe quickly devoured half a bowl of dumplings, savoring them contentedly: "No wonder Grandpa said you have no right to speak without investigating! They're truly delicious!"

He then announced, "After some research, I think the food at Wangjia Village Canteen is indeed better than my grandma's! I've decided to eat there all the time!"

This is not what Erdan wants to hear: "Remember to bring me chocolate tomorrow!"

"No problem! Since you brought me dumplings, I'll definitely bring you chocolate!"

Erdan grinned.
